Another Recruit.

II fully realize that this moment
GUS question must be met, and met
soon, and this appalling danger
averted if we would save our young
men Of the next generation, and
save our country and our liberty.
We have an immense stake in this
issue-greater than we had in Sla-
very and the Rebellion.
II have always been a Prohibi-
ZIONIST in principle and a temper
ance man in practice, and person
ally I have never compromised
with or been contaminated by the
liquor power. But I have not
heretofore felt called upon to act
with temperance political party.
When the Republican party stood
for principle, for human rights and
the defense of the Union, gave it
my earnest support and my best
efforts, and when I believed that it
had outlived its usefulness and
grown corrupt and become the
champio of monopolies, as an In
dependent, l labored to produce a
change through the success of the
Democratic party.
"That change, such as it is, has
now been effected, and the time
is ripe to turn the attention of the
country to the vital Importance
of checking the growing evils and
the vast dangers Of the liquor traf-
fc. There is no present issue be-
tween the old parties to comman d
the interest or exertions of any
earnest man. On tariff, finance
and civil service, their lines under
this administration at least, have
nearly run together. Now, re-
peat, is good time to settle this
liquor question. Nothing can be
expected from either of the old
parties. The politics and policies
Of both are controlled by the sa-
loon. The Republican party is for
license and compromise; the Dem
ocratic party, with possibly more
manllness but nevertheless equal
wrong, is becoming the open
champion of whisky. History re-
peats itself. 1t is the story of the
slavery question over again. The
Democratic party will make it's
second great blunder and the Re-
publican party, like it's old Wing
predecessor, will break up and 60
to pieces in the drifting sands of
com promise.
"Out of all this must come the
new party of temperance, the party
Of the future, to save the country,
as the Republican party was form
ed out of the former elements for a
like great mission.
1T will be mighty and glori-
GUS work, and happy will they be
who can bear part in it.
For my part will not hesitate.
/ cannot better serve my day and
generation and satisfy my own
conscience than by taking up your
banner of purity and patriotism"

LAB0R'S NEW LEAGUE.
An Organization of workingmen similar
to the Knights.

BOsTos, Mass, Aug. 1O.-A new secret
organization OF labor, known as The
Brotherhood, and in many respects
similar to the Knights of Labor, has
been formed and has already grown To
considerable proportions. The Brother
hood has been IN existence now over Il
year. 1t was formed in MAY.
1886, and has gradually extend
Ell until 1t has established
local councils n many of the cities and
towns Of this and other New England
states. Its organization is kept pro-
found secret and, when spoken OF, is
never alluded 10 by its name. As con-
sequence, it IS impossible 70 say who
are lis officers, where its headquarters
are, or whether it has extended to
the west or south. The principles of
this new secret organization are
contained in a printed circular. This
circular begins with the announcement
that the organization does not believe in
strikes. but Uses the ballot and cooper
atIye Institutions IS weapons of warfare.
Then follows the novel and striking de-
mand for the abolition Ot all laws that
tend TO create an arIstOCraCy of office
holders, and the demand for the passage
OF laws compelling corporations 10 adopt
such measures as Will protect the lives
and health OF their employees. 1t
would also provide for the enact
ment of laws compelling employers
snd employees to arbitrate all differences
and 10 enforce the decision of the arbi-
traitors. The last plank in the platform
provides that the government shall OBJ
tain possession by purchase under right
of eminent domain Ofall teIegraphs, tel
ephones and railroads, and hereafter the
government shall issue no charter or
license 10 any corporation for the con-
structi0n or operation of any means of
freIgur

The lessees of the Bay State Mine,

Durand, now Of Aspen, but formerly of
Milwaukee, have recently struck rich
vein of ore that assays 200 ounces of sill

ton. The vein is three feet in width,
several feet deep and of considersh hle

Aspen are very rich and productive
The Durand mine adjoining the Bay
State, over which there has been
an almost endless amount Of
litigation, has 100000 of ore
in sight. The Silver Star, also adjoining
the Bay State, Is another rich mine, and
Is owned by Senator Tabor and Mess rs.
Sivyer and Durand. Tie latter gentle
men were among the first to locate
mines IN that locality. Aspen is now a
town OF about {, 200 inhabitants and is
growing rapidly. The Colorado Midland
Railroad, Of which ]. J. Hagerman, for

reach Aspen within 90 days, which is
expected togive its growth even greater
